Review on ๐Ÿ“š Enhance Your Child's Language Skills with Franklin KID-1240 Children's Talking Dictionary and Spell Corrector by Greg Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a panacea but it helps

After reading the reviews I decided to buy this product for our 9 year old son who is reading more and more wondering what certain words mean. It was quickly realized that this is not the right size for a 9 year old but would be perfect for our 6 year old daughter. The dictionary has a VERY limited number of words and just isn't enough for a 9 year old. Your device is very helpful as it speaks words clearly and provides definitions. Also, both my wife and I have accents, and this product provides a great way for kids to hear the spoken word correctly (a robotic accent beats a Romanian accent). As such, I would recommend this product for young children, but no older than 9 years (unless used to treat things like dyslexia). The reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the fragility of this device. I thought that after 20 years in the wearable industry you would be able to offer a durable, intuitive and ergonomic device. Franklin didn't manage any of those three in this product.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Low maintainability
